As is the way with rumours, they soon gather some credibility through being repeated over and over, and I'm possibly just going to add to that, but here goes:
I can understand people's concern and frustration when they say it's been 6 months, and we still haven't had Private Rooms (going by PAL release of course...). It seems, compared to the rest of Prologue, to be quite a trivial feature to add, and something that would indeed solve so many problems / gripes.
One can only assume that it's been kept back for a good reason. I don't think it's KY seeking perfection in this particular instance, as I think 'perfecting' something like private rooms isn't too difficult for a team like PD.
I've read it a couple of times now, and seen 'those pictures' and can't help but like the idea that it's because of Home that we're having to wait so much for something so simple. Home has been delayed over and over, and having Prologue's private rooms integrated within Home would be such an impressive feature (even if the novelty wore off in a week) that I can see how KY would wait.
Equally, it could be contractual. Sony may have PD over a barrel, that their online features must work within home, and as such, they can't release them until Home is out. This also goes some way to explaining the complete silence on the subject, as PD can't bad mouth Sony's developers for taking too long on Home...
Just my .02, but I'm sure the 'It's because of Home' theory is going to continue to gather weight
